What is Energy?

Back

The ability to cause change.

Front

Which action transfers more energy?

Back

Raising ball 1 higher before release.

Front

What is an Unbalanced Force?

Back

Forces that are not equal and always cause the motion of an object to change its speed and direction.

Front

What type of collision is characterized by kinetic energy being conserved?

Back

Elastic Collision.

Front

What factors affect the amount of energy transferred in a collision?

Back

The speed and weight of the objects involved.

Front

Define Kinetic Energy.

Back

The energy an object possesses due to its motion.

Front

What is the formula for Kinetic Energy?

Back

KE = 1/2 mv², where m is mass and v is velocity.

Front

What is Potential Energy?

Back

The stored energy of an object due to its position or state.

Front

What is the formula for Gravitational Potential Energy?

Back

PE = mgh, where m is mass, g is acceleration due to gravity, and h is height.

Front

What is the Law of Conservation of Energy?

Back

Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another.
